In the early morning hours of Tuesday, November 22, 2022, Mike Strathy passed away peacefully in the comfort of his own home with family by his side. Mike is survived by his loving and devoted partner, Bernice Demers, his son and daughter in law, Michael and Lila Strathy, his stepsons Chris Keough, Justin Demers and Robert Demers and his sisters Shawna Strathy and Kerrie Mowbray. Mike was an adoring and dedicated grandfather to Charlotte, Maddox and Carina Strathy and Brock Demers and took great pride in sharing his life experiences with them. Mike will also be fondly remembered by many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and an abundance of friends. Mike is predeceased by his parents Gord and Doris Strathy and his stepson Chad Keough. Mike’s undying curiosity and thirst for knowledge took him on many adventures throughout his life. During his journey, he collected a cache of stories and experiences that he loved sharing with his friends and family. His kindness and sharp sense of humour was a blessing to all who would meet him and will stay in their hearts for a lifetime. He was always willing to lend a helping hand and touched communities far and wide. Mike ultimately found his passion crafting and working the pow-wow trail where he made lifelong friends and deep connections. The family would love to thank the care team that worked diligently to make his last moments as comfortable as possible. Donations can be made in Mike’s name to the Temiskaming Shores Hospital Palliative Care Program. It was Mike’s wish not to have a formal funeral service. A celebration of life will be planned at a later date. Buffam Leveille Funeral Home Haileybury, 705-672-3122
